The Formation of Words has few rules which determine the nature of the words formed thus.

NOTE:

In most Compound Words, it is the first word which modifies the meaning of the second word. The accent is placed upon the modifying word when the amalgamation is complete.When the two elements are only partially blended, a hyphen is put between the two words and the accent fall equally on both of them.

3. Primary Derivatives:

These words are formed by making some changes in the body of the Primary Words.

• Bond from bind
• Breach from break
• Wrong from wring

NOTE:

The most important class of words formed by internal changes consists of the past tenses of the Primary Words.
Those past tense-words are not treated as Derivatives.
